- “Even if they don't have a lot of variety in their gameplay, they at the very least have interesting platforming sequences.”
- “I dock points again because if Electric Fairyland were actually tangibly and mechanically robust, I could probably push through to the end, but instead, it suffers from a horrendous, permanently inverted camera, unavoidably inaccurate depth perception, and a complete lack of oomph behind your character's movements.”
- “The slightly hazy and blurry fidelity of the visuals paired with the cutesy, eye-popping visual direction work well, but it’s a surface-level distraction from the mundane nature of its gameplay loop.”
